I LOVE THIS CAR. WISH I HAD BOUGHT IT SOONER.

NOW THAT I HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE LEARNED ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. I LIVE ALL THE SAFETY DEVICES.

New 2018 Acadia Purchase

This vehicle provides a smooth ride, excellent performance, and looks good. I like that it has USB ports and options to serve as a WiFi hotspot (with pd subscription) and to plug in other music sources. I have not decided whether to pursue the wifi hotspot option. It has hands-free cell phone user option to comply with new laws, as well as 6-speaker stereo with very good sound. Love the cloth seats, but absent the 8-way adjustable option, I haven't been able to adjust the drivers seat for optimum comfort. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Beautiful car with surprising power and fuel econ.

The Acadia is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. It has plenty of room for my family. I?m very impressed with the GMC Infotainment System in its ease of use. The car get better gas mileage than posted on the MSRP sticker as well.

Great vehicle

The new size and design of the Acadia Denali is just right for our daily driving needs. Still has the 4 wheel option available when required and drives very comfortably and smoothly. Both the exterior and interior design are functional and beautiful. Very pleased with this vehicle purchase.

Third Acadia I have owned

GMC took out some features and made the vehicle smaller. The heads up display is gone and the dash is less classy looking but I prefer the smaller size. The car rides better and is much easier to park. The new technology is cool and I love the adaptive cruise control, the 360 degree view and the forward camera. The new car is much more efficient than the old ones we had. I used 9.1 liters/ 100Km on last road trip. The same trip to the lake used 12 to 13 L/100K in the 2015 Acadia. We opted for the Denali 6 seat version and love the roominess even with the smaller overall size.

Very nice car we love it

This car is very responsive. Also gas mileage is great getting up to 30 mpg when you get gas without ethanol in it. It handles much better then our previous Acadia

Best vehicle I have ever owned!

We bought the 2018 GMC Acadia Denali and love it! The exterior design is so sleek and sporty. Interior is extremely comfortable and the drive is so smooth and precise. We wish it had more cargo room, but you can beat the price for such a nice ride!

Most comfortable and technologically advanced car

I?m obsessed with my new Acadia Denali. It?s totally loaded. I love the infotainment system, very user friendly. My kids love the DVD players in the headrests. I?ve never been happier with a vehicle and it was a great deal for all the bells and whistles this thing has. Got this AWD Denali for $43,000, MSPR was over $54,000.

Only 4000 miles so far so good

Car has almost as much room as my 2009 Buick Enclave. It has more smooth pep and so far overall mileage is 25 mpg with the 6 Cylinder and Denali package. Biggest disappointment is that it is NOT as quiet as my 2009 Enclave that had 120,000 miles on it. More road noise from the rear of the vehicle but it is from the tires on the road. No wind noise at all. I insulated the rear area by the spare and sprayed BOOM Mat under the entire car which helped a good bit but still not as quiet as the Buick. Only reason I bought the GMC and not another Enclave was that we tow the car behind our Motorhome and the 2018 Buick Enclave is not towable 4 down but the GMC is. The car handles great and with the third row seat we can carry just as many people as the Buick did. Some say the third row seat is too small but I sat back there on one trip and I had ample room and I am 5'-10" medium build.
